From Jerry Zgoda\/Star Tribune: <\/a><\/p>\n Cardinal to the Knicks for former No. 2 overall pick Darko Milicic.<\/em><\/div>\n <\/p>\n The trade will save the Knicks $1.8 million and give the Wolves a center to audition for the rest of the season. Milicic has been mired at the end of Mike D’Antoni’s bench for months and has publicly said he’s likely to return to Europe to play basketball when his contract expires this summer.<\/em> “I’m hopeful he clears his mind of that for the next couple of months,” Kahn said.<\/em><\/div>\n
“He understandably was frustrated and he may feel that way now,” David Kahn, Minnesota’s president of basketball operations, said at halftime of the Timberwolves’ game at Washington.<\/em><\/p>\n
“(Minnesota) really wants to give him a chance,” Milicic’s agent, Marc Cornstein, told The Post. “We’ll see. Darko is a little gun-shy. Darko is a little surprised and very disappointed things didn’t work out in New York. It’s the culmination of a real disappointment for him.”<\/em><\/div>\n
